Pakistan is a country of diverse cultures, beautiful landscapes, snow-capped mountains, and frozen lakes. In short, Pakistan is a heaven for the tourists. Getting a Pakistan tourist visa for Pakistan is somewhat an easy process. While a few countries do not require any visa, most of the residents of other countries can follow a short and painless procedure to get a Pakistani tourist visa. To facilitate the tourists and save them the hassle, Pakistan's new visa policy now offers e-visas and visas on arrival.

Pakistani tourist visa documentation requirements

The Pakistani tourist visa documentation required for getting a tourist visa is pretty basic. For the visa process, the application must be complete with a photograph of the applicant, a valid passport, an invitation letter by the sponsor or hotel booking details in case of an individual applicant. In case of groups invitation letter by a tour operator that is designated by the department of tourist services.

Validity and Processing time of Pakistani tourist visa

The visa is valid for 6 months, while the e-visa is applicable for 30 days. Tourist visas can be extended for more than six months, subject to approval by the authorities. The visa processing time is typically 7 to 10 working days. However, in case of an e-visa, an application of travel intent is catered 48 to 72 hours before travelling.

Mistakes to avoid while applying for visa

While applying for a Pakistani tourist visa, there are a few mistakes that applicants usually make, and their visa application is rejected. Listed below are some of the mistakes to avoid before applying for a Pakistani tourist visa.

1. Information in the application not matching with the official documents

Numerous globe trotters get a rejection for the visa application just because of the contradictory information in the visa application form and the supporting official documents. While applying for the visa, make sure all the information listed matches with the information in the supporting documents like passport, identity cards, and invitation letters, etc.

2. Application too close to the date of travel

Typically for a tourist visa, the Pakistani authorities take 10 to 12 days to process. The visa application should be put in time to be on the safer side and avoid any issues. Especially during the peak travel seasons, delays can be expected.

3. Inaccurate invitation or hotel booking details

Any inaccurate information related to the sponsorship or invitation letter for the visa can lead to possible rejection. While applying for a Pakistani tourist visa, make sure that the invitation, sponsorship, and hotel details are accurate.
